Hi everyone,
Original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/glz7rn/aws_tutorials_by_an_exaws_engineer_interested/
I worked at AWS as a software engineer for a few years. I’ve noticed some interesting things since leaving:
- People who want to deploy websites/apps/pages are really, really daunted by AWS.
- Trying to find AWS tutorials online is just awful. It feels like everything is either a manual, a “12 hour certification course” or an outdated Medium article from 2016.
- Many people are using Netlify, which is really just a wrapper around AWS, and similar “instantly deploy services”.
I’ve recently helped some friends in the startup world set things up on AWS – mostly deploying static sites. So far, all of them are now
- spending less money on hosting
- getting better load time on their sites
- deploying things pretty much as quickly as Netlify’s offering
I’m planning to write up some friendly resources/tutorials on using AWS so others can have these benefits too.
Would you guys be interested in this?
If so, please let me know what kind of tutorial you’d like to see. It’ll help me decide on the best tutorials to start with. For example, it could be “deploying a static site on S3 + CloudFront”.
It would also be a huge help if you could answer in this form I setup earlier: https://forms.gle/SFTuigCBeupeReV2A.
In addition to helping me decide which content is best to start with, it’ll give me a way to distribute tutorials I create to you guys.
(Happy to remove the link if forms aren’t allowed @mods).
